摘要
Age is a well-known risk factor in trauma patients. The aim of the present study was to define the age-dependent cut-off for increasing mortality in multiple injured patients. Pre-existing medical conditions in older age and impaired age-dependent physiologic reserve contributing to a worse outcome in multiple injured elderly patients are discussed as reasons for increased mortality. A retrospective clinical study of a statewide trauma data set from 1993 through 2000 included 5375 patients with an Injury Severity Score (ISS) >= 16 who were stratified by age. The ISS and Abbreviated Injury Score (AIS) quantified the injury severity. Outcome measures were mortality.
